All the hubbub surrounds Serena, but Venus is not ending her boycott since last playing in 2001. “I made my schedule up,” Venus said about missing IW again. “I’m entered in Miami, and that’s pretty much what it is. I haven’t really given a lot of thought to it. I have just been focusing on this year…I just respect every decision [Serena] makes, pretty much. It’s nothing complicated about it.”

Argentina went into Belgrade and defeated Serbia 4-1 after world No. 1 Novak Djokovic collapsed with a back injury in the first match on Sunday. Del Potro was leading 7-6(5), 3-0 when Djokovic collapsed to the court, writing in pain.
